How Do I Restart My Roku?

A system restart is the least invasive reset method and will not affect your settings. On a Roku TV, this is different from pressing the power button on the remote or the TV itself.


You can restart your Roku device in two ways:


Restart by Power Cord


  1. Unplug the power cord from your Roku device or TV.
  2. Wait at least 10 seconds, then plug it back in.
  3. Your Roku will complete a restart and should return to normal operation.


Restart from Settings Menu


  1. Press the Home button on your Roku remote.
  2. Scroll and select Settings System Power.
  3. Select System restart.
  4. Your Roku will restart and return to normal operation.


Tip: If your device does not return to normal after a restart, you may need to try the power cord method or consult Roku support.
